MORE ABOUT HEDDY:

Hedy Epstein was born August 15, 1924, in Freiburg, Germany. She lived with her parents Ella and Hugo Wachenheimer in Kippenheim, Germany. Her family, originally from Spain, had lived in Germany for many generations.

On May 18, 1939, Hedy went to England on a children's transport to flee Nazi Germany. Five hundred children were on this transport, part of the almost 10,000 children that England took in between December 1938 and September 1, 1939, the beginning of World War II. Hedy's parents perished in Auschwitz.

After the war, Hedy returned to Germany, working as a research analyst at the Nuremberg trial of the Nazi doctors who performed medical experiments on concentration camp inmates. In 1948 she came to the US and became active in the causes of civil and human rights and social justice, including fair housing, abortion rights, and antiwar activities.

As a peace delegate, Hedy journeyed to Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Cambodia in 1989. Hedy has also visited the Israeli Occupied West Bank four times since 2003 to witness the facts on the ground.

In her autobiography, published in Germany, Erinnern Ist Nicht Genug, ("Remembering is not enough"), Hedy adds, "Remembering must also have a present and a future perspective."
